Pencils down, it’s time for lunch. Here’s what you missed this morning:
🟥 | Market Snapshot: The Nasdaq Composite fell by more than 1% as investors continue to rotate out of tech stocks.
💼 | In focus: The data is in… Last week, the number of US citizens applying for unemployment insurance benefits increased by 243,000. This is significantly above the 229,000 initial jobless claims expected and marks a 20,000 increase from the prior week.
🏦 | Noteworthy: The European Central Bank decided to hold its key interest steady, as it is not yet ready to follow up on its quarter percentage point reduction in June. The ECB noted that price pressures “are still high” and will likely remain above the bank’s 2% target well into the next year.

Trading Below Market Value
According to Berenberg, Nordea Bank (NRDBY) shares are currently trading at a price that is too low to be overlooked. The bank, based in Finland, has seen its stock drop over 7% YTD.
Yet, in its recent reporting of first-half results, net profits rose to $2.89 billion and net interest income grew 7% year-over-year. According to a bank executive, it was able to accomplish this despite a slow economy and geopolitical issues.
Sounds Fundamentals
Berenberg analysts believe that the stock’s strong fundamentals and seemingly discounted price make it a potentially lucrative investment opportunity. Additionally, the firm stated that its P/E premium, compared to its peers, is coming down as well.
According to analyst Hugh Moorhead, the bank’s stock is currently trading at 7.5x expected 2025 earnings, which he feels warrants a buy rating.
Strong Yields
The bank has delayed its share buyback plans until 2025, but Moorhead is still confident in its long-term shareholder distributions. He is projecting an 11-12% total annual yield, well above the industry average. The stock is currently trading at a 9% forward dividend yield.
Interest rates are falling but net interest income has remained solid. Coupled with the company’s sound fundamentals and price compared to its peers, it could present investors with a unique opportunity to buy low.

SURVEY THE STREET
Yesterday was a rough day for chip stocks, which shed over $500 billion in value over China-US trade war fears.
This comes after a Bloomberg report that detailed the Biden administration’s potential plans to enact a measure called the foreign direct product rule to curb chipmakers' ability to do business with China.
The report hit ASML’s stock hard—as of this morning, it is down approximately 15% for the week. Why is ASML being hit the hardest? Well, the company revealed in its Q2 report that its sales to China account for nearly half of the Dutch company’s revenue.
Will ASML recover, or will it continue to feel the impact of the US-China trade war? |
